By Chris Wright

I am the God of Hellfire, and I bring you…FLARES! So dramatic, so incendiary, so dangerous, so Satanic, so Temple Of Doom-y and so utterly beautiful when captured on camera…

    That united one is at galatasary in 1993. The gala fans cheerfully refer to the old stadium as ‘hell’. More flares than a 70s disco.

    My love for football was confirmed after that game.

    Also, check out baby Gary nev!

    flares aren’t allowed in english football are they?
    cos I was thinking about bringing one in after a few gooners did a flare at stamford bridge a few seasons back

    @MARK: All I can say is ‘Wow!’

    @goonerdan some Coventry fans left off a flare at The Amex a few weeks back, literally just a miniscule puff of smoke and they were quickly thrown out by the stewards. Added to the atmosphere in my opinion but you know what we’re like with all that health and safety malarkey in the UK…

    Tried brining one in to an American Football match… it wasn’t taken so well…

  6. Solihull United says:

    italian football is so boring no wonder everyone brings flares

  7. Terry Sheddingham says:

    That Materazzi/Rui Costa one is a classic! “We’re having a real moment here…”

    Penarol is KING of flares and “el Recibimiento”
